21. You can eat food free in my restaurant _______ you like. (2004重庆卷)
A. whenever B. wherever C. whatever D. however
【答案】A。
【考点】考查让步状语从句的用法。
【解析】根据句中的my restaurant可排除wherever(无论哪里)，即排除B；再根据food可排除whatever(无论什么)，即排除C；再根据free(免费地)可排除however(无论以何种方式)，即排除D；所以只有whenever(无论何时)正确。句意为：无论你什么时候来，都可以在我的餐馆里免费吃东西。
22. The crazy fans _______ patiently for two hours, and they would wait till the movie star arrived. (2004重庆卷)
A. were waiting B. had been waiting C. had waited D. would wait
【答案】B。
【考点】考查动词时态的用法。
【解析】根据句中的过去将来时（would wait）可知，句子是在谈论过去发生的情况，再结合句中的for two hours可知，wait这个动作是从过去某一时刻开始一直延续到另一个过去时刻，并且还在等，即一直要等到那位影星到来，所以用过去完成进行时最合适，即选B。句意为：疯狂的影迷耐心地等了两个小时，他们要一直等到这位电影明星到来。
23. She _______ her hairstyle in her hometown before she came to
A. would change B. has changed C. changed D. was changing
【答案】C。
【考点】考查动词时态的用法。
【解析】根据句中的came可知，她已来重庆了，而改变发型是在来重庆之前，即过去的过去，按理要用过去完成时，但before已经表明紧接着发生的先后两个动作，所以也可用一般过去时，所以选C。句意为：在来重庆谋求一份更好的工作之前，她在家乡重做了发型。
24. “The interest _______ be divided into five parts, according to the agreement made by both sides,” declared the judge. (2004重庆卷)
A. may B. should C. must D. shall
【答案】D。
【考点】考查情态动词的用法。
【解析】shall用作情态动词的一个重要用法是，表示法令、规章、条约中的规定或义务，意为“必须、一定”。句意为：法官宣布：“根据双方所订的协约，利息必须分成五份。”又如：Adolescents under the age of 18 shall not work in jobs that require them to drive. 18岁以下的青少年不可以从事需要开车的工作。Any candidate with more than half the votes shall be declared elected. 候选人如果获得半数以上选票将会宣布当选。
25. I intended to compare notes with a friend, but unfortunately _______ couldn’t spare me even one minute. (2004重庆卷)
A. they B. one C. who D. it
【答案】A。
【考点】考查代词的用法。
【解析】根据句中的并列连词可知，其后不可能是定语从句，即不可能填who，故可排除C；再根据句意（“一点时间都抽不出来”）可知，空格处不能填it，即可排除D；若选B，根据前文语境，one只可能表示a friend，代入句中意思不通。所以答案只能选A，此处的they相当于none of my friends。句意为：我想找个朋友交流一下，但遗憾的是他们一点时间都抽不出来。

【解析】put away表示“放好，收好”；take away表示“拿走，带走”；give away表示“分发，放弃”；carry away表示“运走”。分别代入句中，显然只有填B最符合语境。句意为：在战争暴发前，许多人都把他们不能带走的财物放到安全的地方。

【解析】此处的see表示“想象，理解，考虑”。句意为：他们把你看成是一个杞人忧天的人，常常考虑一些并不存在的问题，为那些尚未发生的事情而烦恼。又如：I see things differently now. 我现在的看法不同了。Try to see the matter from her point of view. 尽量用她的观点来看这件事。

A. doesn’t go B. not to go C. not going D. don’t go
【答案】D。
【考点】综合考查非谓语动词与祈使句的有关用法。
【解析】根据空格前的冒号可知，冒号后应是Dr. Roger所讲的原话，这原话应当是个句子，从所给的四个选项来看，只有don’t go…才是一个否定形式的祈使句，用其他任何一个选项都不能构成句子。故选D。

--I can’t believe we did all that work for _______. (2004重庆卷)
A. something B. nothing C. everything D. anything
【答案】B。
【考点】考查固定搭配的用法。
【解析】for nothing是固定搭配，意思是“徒劳”“没有好结果”“免费”，句意为：“已经浪费一周的时间了。”“我不相信我们做的这一切工作是白费力气。”又如：All my trouble went for nothing. 我白白辛苦了一场。All that preparation was for nothing because the visit was cancelled. 因为访问取消了，一切准备工作都白费了。

A. 不填；不填 B. the；不填 C. the; the D. a; the
【答案】C。
【考点】考查冠词的用法。

33. The husband gave his wife _______ every month in order to please her. (2004重庆卷)
A. all half his income B. his half all income C. half his all income D. all his half income

A. I realized B. I had realized C. had I realized D. did I realize
【答案】D。
【考点】考查倒装句的用法。
【解析】若“only+状语”放在句首，其后句子习惯上要用部分倒装，又因为then就是指前一分句描述的这一过去时间，要用一般过去时，所以选D。又如：Only then did she realize how much damage had been caused. 直到那时她才意识到造成了多大损失。
